Unless you have a heated greenhouse I would say it is too late to sow tomatoes and sweet corn, even then it is doubtful that you would get a crop from either of them. Lettuce would be fine.

I agree Moon grower, Bethyann keep your seeds in a cool dry place until springtime and then plant them out.
Good luck. :~))

Yes, as Moon said, far too late for toms or sweetcorn now, but the seed will keep until spring. Lettuce you can sow now, but don't leave it much later.

Ian - what happened to you? :-)

No Bethy, plant some of your lettuce seeds now and in a few weeks you will have lovely fresh salads. Not to many though as you don't want hundreds of lettuces coming up all at once. :~))

Nope, they'll be fine outdoors :-)

Ian - sorry to hear about the bush/step incident - will catch up on your blogs when I get a chance! BTW, whose Carol?!

Carol is that woman that keeps cooking my meals and cleaning around me when I'm on GoY. The one that was wearing the white dress when I got married! :~))
